COLUMBUS (AP) Two Ohio high school stars and a prep school player from Milwaukee signed letters of intent Wednesday to play basketball at Ohio State.

Jamar Butler, a 6-foot-2 guard from Lima Shawnee and Matt Terwilliger, a 6-9 forward from Troy, committed to the Buckeyes along with 6-7 Jermyl Jackson-Wilson, now playing at Fork Union (Va.) Military Academy.

All three will be freshmen at Ohio State in 2004-2005.

Butler averaged 30 points and eight assists a game as a junior at Shawnee. Terwilliger, who played alongside Butler on a Cleveland AAU team, averaged 17 points and nine rebounds as a junior.

Jackson-Wilson graduated from Milwaukees Rufus King High School spring 2003. He averaged 10 points and 12 rebounds a game as a senior. His high school team won the Wisconsin state title with a 26-0 record.
